Swissport IT Transformation is aiming to standardize their global IT environment to increase leverage and quality of delivery to support providing best customer services to its clients. The partnership with TCS will see Swissport invest in an extensive improvement and enhancement of its technology infrastructure capabilities to ensure its core systems can support these objectives.

This major initiative includes the consolidation of Swissport’s data centers and remote location infrastructure, establishing a global user help desk and implementing a worldwide WAN transformation scheme. The work will also see a simplification and streamlining of enterprise workplace services, governance and IT security alongside support to ensure that the technology innovations provide the best environment for success.

As a business that operates in over 280 airports worldwide and transports 4.3 million tonnes of cargo annually, Swissport’s operations are highly complex. TCS’ depth and breadth of expertise, as well as its proven track record in IT Infrastructure and Transformation were major factors in Swissport’s decision for its strategic program.

“Customers rightly expect that our services are seamless. Our partnership with TCS will help us deliver on our goal to develop the best customer experience possible. We selected TCS from a competitive field of other providers due to its strong global presence, deep expertise in IT Infrastructure and Transformation and track record for outstanding customer satisfaction and delivery. Through more integrated operations, we will be able to provide the highest level of customer service possible while also supporting our continued growth,” said Christoph Kleinsorg, CIO, Swissport.

"The modern business era demands operations that act in real time, deliver integrated services to customers, and use data to unveil new insights and opportunities. This program will see the implementation of a number of key pillars of Swissport’s ambitious IT transformation strategy. In one of the world’s most complex and global industries opportunities for technology to deliver transformational value is huge. We’re delighted to be partnering with Swissport on this journey,”added Heinz Gehri, Country Head – TCS.
